Polyoxometalate complexes and uses in managing cancer
The disclosure relates polyoxometalate complexes and uses in the management, treatment, or prevention of cancer. In certain embodiments, the polyoxometalate complexes comprise polydentate oxygen bridging ligands such as those of the following formula: [POM{(OCH2)3CX}2], [M6O13{(OCH2)3CX}2], [V6O13 {(OCH2)3CX}2], salts, or derivatives thereof wherein POM is a polyoxometalate, M is a metal, and X is defined herein. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising polyoxometalate complexes disclosed herein.
1. A method of treating cancer comprising administering an effective amount of [V 6 O 13 {(OCH 2 ) 3 CNH 3 } 2 ], or salts thereof to a subject in need thereof.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is diagnosed with cancer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, glioblastoma, cervical, ovarian, colon, breast, gastric, lung, skin, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, head, neck, bladder, and renal cancer.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyoxometalate complex is administered in combination with a second chemotherapeutic agent.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second chemotherapy agent is a platinum-based antineoplastic, cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, nedaplatin, triplatin tetranitrate, phenanthriplatin, picoplatin, satraplatin, or combinations thereof.
